Roses are Red My Love


               The Classic love song  Roses are Red My Love was composed by Al Bryon and Paul Evans in  a  few minutes time.   Al Bryon stopped by a recording studio in 1962 to share the lyrics for  a new song.  After reading the lyrics Paul Evans wrote the melody in three minutes,  he had just created the biggest song of his career.  Struggling to find a song that would boost his career as a singer, Bobby Vinton found  a demo record of  Roses are Red My Love  in a stack of discarded  recordings ready for the trash.  He was the first to record this  classic song in  1962  it was an instant hit  for him and the song writers.

         Since the original recording this  classic love song has been recorded by several artists including:  Shelley Fabares, Johnny Burnette, Claudette Thomas, Bobby Goldsboro,  Jim Reeves, Ronnie Carroll,  and Freddie Fender. It has also become a favorite karaoke song.  The lyrics of this classic song have become loving endearments on greeting cards and art work. 


"Roses are red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But not as sweet as you."
